Happy 5th Birthday, Ghibli Blog!

Happy birthday! The Ghibli Blog turns five years old today! March 29, 2006 was my first post on this humble blog, and it's been a long and wild roller coaster ever since. I am very thankful and humbled for your support and dedication. The level of success I've achieved would never be possible without you.

The beautiful part is that we have only scratched the surface of all the possible topics to discuss and share, all the movies to watch, and all the comics to read.

I wouldn't know half the stuff about Ghibli and animation history in general if it wasn't for your efforts on the Ghibli Blog. Thanks for sharing your information and insights!
